China, who has more experience than anyone with COVID-19, still requires masks while in public. 1.3 billion idiots? Don't they know masks don't work? Why don't they listen to the WHO?

"“Situations that require a mask are when you are in a crowd...or if you are caring for a sick person. If it makes you feel better, wear a surgical mask,” Angela Rasmussen, virologist at the Center for Infection & Immunity at Columbia University said on the Reuters Global Markets Forum."
[...]
"In China, where nearly 10,000 cases have been reported so far, Zunyou Wu, chief epidemiologist at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, told state broadcaster that people need to wear masks when taking public transport." (this is from a month ago - required everywhere in public these days)
Do you need to wear a mask right now? Maybe not. Will you want to have the choice very soon? Almost certainly - exponential growth is no joke. U.S. confirmed cases are doubling every few days and will continue to do so until actions (like social distancing & wearing a mask) are taken to slow the spread.
